Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.
War doesn't decide who's right, just who's left.
He's leaving for iraq in less than a week and ive no idea how to thank him or say goodbye not knowing if it's going to be the last time i see him..
The Idea that one can Hate the Government, & the Military but love their freedoms granted, is the Idea that they hate their freedoms granted.
You don't have to support the war, but you should support the men and women who are giving their lives just so you can lay your head down safely at night.
We are the soldiers who fight for your lives, but do you deserve your freedom when we could so easily take it back?
There are no heroes in war. The only heroes I know are either dead or in prison. One or the other.
They do not understand. They do not know why we wage this war. Why we will fight, and fight and fight... Until we win... Or we die... And we are not dead yet.
This isn't glorious! It's just plain killing! Violence isn't a sport!
Genius is nothing but a greater aptitude for patience.
